Olvi Changes Treatment of Assets Held for Sale and Withdraws its Near-term Outlook
Legislation regulating the sale of foreign companies in Belarus has recently tightened. Therefore, the sale of Lidskoe Pivo, a subsidiary operating in Belarus, is not likely within the next 12 months.
In accordance with accounting standard the Belarusian operations can no longer be classified as assets held for sale but to return back to the consolidated reporting. Previously, according to the near-term outlook in the interim report published on 19 October 2022 the company`s management believed that the divestment would be implemented within the next 12 months.
Olvi changes its near-term outlook by withdrawing it due to accounting treatment of Lidskoe Pivo and uncertainty in business environment. Previous outlook: “The operating profit from continuing operations in 2022 is expected to decrease from the previous year” was published in the interim report on 19 October 2022. The outlook did not include business operations of Lidskoe Pivo.
